I&#39;ve been following you since January 2005, when a Google search for leggings landed me on this post of yours: https://theunderweardrawer.blogspot.com/search?q=leggings<br /><br />The dialogue between you and your mom cracked me up, and I was so taken by your voice that I stayed. Yours is the only blog I ever followed - I never signed up for notifications and I&#39;m not on Twitter, so I&#39;m just now seeing that you&#39;re writing here again. Hooray! As for what our family has been doing since the presidential campaign: we volunteer with a refugee resettlement agency hosting new arrivals who need temporary emergency housing.Kate Haashttp://www.katehaas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-59534466806985166752017-04-11T23:17:24.411-04:002017-04-11T23:17:24.411-04:00hey michelle, sangeetha here! we met like AGES ag...hey michelle, sangeetha here! we met like AGES ago when you came back to NYC for your book tour, and i think we went out with a few others afterward. anyhoo, SO EXCITED you&#39;re back to the blog! i actually only just found this out because i&#39;m just entering my second trimester and i remembered you had all these posts about the breast pump setup that worked well for you, etc etc. (especially appreciate the tip about needing the sink to rinse things, making the bathroom / OR locker room a better choice - i was naively thinking i could just pump in the privacy of my office.)<br /><br />i moved to texas for my breast surgery fellowship and decided to stay. even though san antonio is fairly politically balanced, i do find many folks who just have a very different perspective than mine. As such, the things that my husband and I have done are as follows: donated to planned parenthood, donated to the muslim temple that got burned down here, donated to the DNC, called both state representatives as well as congressional representatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-81375888714767433562017-03-04T01:19:43.072-05:002017-03-04T01:19:43.072-05:00It is so good to hear from you again Michelle.

Greetings from across the pond!<br /><br />I think I found your blog after searching for &#39;types of medical students&#39;, found your &#39;12 types of medical student&#39; comic, then your blog, and followed ever since. I think this was back in ?2002/2003. <br />Some of your posts have been helpful at various points of my training. The one that comes to mind is the post on the first time you anaesthetised a patient during an organ harvest. I remembered that blog post when I was anaesthetising such a patient in the final moments as I watched the observations on the machine when the procedure ended. It was done at night. Your post really helped. <br /><br />Wishing you all the best in your acts of citizenship :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-3154758250638358692017-02-18T18:48:48.236-05:002017-02-18T18:48:48.236-05:00You&#39;re back!

I&#39;ve followed this blog since back during my nursing school days and have periodically checked in over the last few years during radio silence. My husband and I donate to the World Food Program and PP but would like to add ACLU into the mix. I&#39;m not a very vocal person-- I do good when I can sign a petition or donate etc. We&#39;ve recently moved from central Texas to Portland for work, at least temporarily, and feel much more at home politically. Hopefully we can can find meaningful ways to make an impact with plenty of like minded folks around.

Increased my recurring donations to RainForest Trust <br />(https://www.rainforesttrust.org/) - great charity, btw. <br />2. Preparing for solar panels - the plan is to replace my roof, put on solar panels and then buy an electric car. My electricity is already 100% wind, but I figure this will help more. Getting quotes for the roof now. <br /><br />How are the dogs, by the way?

As for personal actions on the political front, I am not the activist type, but Trump is a truly terrifying character doing some shady things that could do serious damage. I follow several blogs and pages of organizations and influential people working hard to counteract the craziness; if I ever come into some disposable income I will donate to a good cause or two like the ACLU and the SPLC. medrecgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-8256356345071550942017-02-01T01:17:53.508-05:002017-02-01T01:17:53.508-05:00I ended up at the University of Chicago for med sc...I ended up at the University of Chicago for med school, where I met my husband, so I think it&#39;s safe to say all your advice was right on.

I&#39;m currently a second year med student with boards looming. My small contribution has been to try to propagate the distribution of accurate scientific information (vaccines, climate change, etc) and just to show kindness to everyone regardless of illogical views that they may hold. The amount of hate and bitterness that exist in the current culture is alarming.

Having someone to look up to who is doing the mom/physician thing has gotten me through some tough times. This election has been very angst inducing. I find myself wanting to do more and to be proactive. However this would require either dramatically lowering my sleep requirement or defying the laws of nature in order to add a couple more hours to the day. Women&#39;s health is a scary place to be right now. I joke with my husband that if the Vice President gets his way, I might end up in jail. My resolve at the moment is to put my head down, do the work, and treat all my patients be they homeless or wealthier than the president with equal compassion and respect. I try to reach out on social media to be an advocate and source of fact-based information. It doesn&#39;t feel like enough, but it&#39;s a start.

Yes, it&#39;s difficult to find volunteer opportunities to do with kids, particularly little kids, because a lot of organized volunteer opportunities (soup kitchens, food pantries and such) have age cutoffs that are pretty high, I assume for safety and liability reasons. You know, no one wants your four year old flattened under a pallet of green beans. We&#39;ve been keeping an eye out (some volunteer organizations have specific &quot;family day&quot; events that are more inclusive--ours was an art project, so safe for all--and also, we&#39;ve organized our own little charity drives that the kids can get in on and help deliver.
